Fifty Shades of Black and White

Somewhere in between black and white there are shades of gray. The varied tones of this intermediate color have inspired novels. At the intersection of black and white you discover lead or ash. Kettle Art Gallery’s new exhibit focuses on these Silver Linings with an exhibition composed entirely of grisaille paintings, monochromatic photographs and black-and-white illustrations. The work of more than 20 artists will be on display starting at 7 p.m. Thursday with an opening reception at Deep Ellum’s Kettle Art, 2650-B Main St. They will remain on view through April 12.
